δ224ΔεξάμενοςreceivingSimilar entry in Photius. The headword is aorist participle, masculine nominative singular, of de/xomai. cf. Hesychius s.v. de/casqai, glossed with labei=n. [1] Adler's note is 'cf. 3.54.2 et 9.5.1', which have plural deca/menoi and …Matched in noteshighshort
δ240ΔέομοςconstraintSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The form de/omos is otherwise unattested, but Hesychius has entries for de/hmos (delta422) and, apparently, deo/menos (delta651) with the same glossing. (LSJ prints the latter.)Matched in noteshighshort
δ250ΔέραςskinIncompetently adapted from John of Antioch fr.15.3 FHG (5.548), now 26.3 Roberto; the original has 'Jason and his associates' (justifying the plural participle parageno/menoi which is retained here) and has them taking Medea and …Matched in noteshigh

δ468Δημοῦσθαιto talk popularlySame entry in other lexica, including Photius, who cites Plato for this sense of the verb (= Theaetetus 161E, which has the participle dhmou/menon; cf. the scholia there). [1] See delta 444. [2] This …Matched in noteshighshort

δ964Διεσπλεκωμένῃher who has been fuckedThe headword is the perfect middle participle, in the feminine dative singular, of the verb diaspleko/w; cf. also spleko/w in Aristophanes, Lysistrata 152 (pi 1722). It can also be written pl- or spekl-; cf. …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1108Δίκροταdikrota, two-bankedThe headword is neuter plural of the adjective di/krotos, the primary meaning of which is "double-beating". It is employed with reference to the human pulse in all of Galen's treatises on this matter, and …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1189Διοπομπεῖσθαιto escort [evil] awayThe headword is the present infinitive of the compound verb diopompe/omai. Lexicographers are the only extant source for forms of the un-compounded diopompe/omai, since the verb normally appears as a)podiopompe/omai (alpha 3297; LSJ entry …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1228Διώκεινto prosecuteFor this sense of the verb diw/kw see also delta 1229 (LSJ entry at web address 1). The present entry is prompted by Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 452 (web address 2). Chremes is reporting to Blepyrus …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1340Δολιχόσκιονlong-shadowingThe headword, neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, occurs 26 times in Homer, as a formulaic epithet for a spear: 'casting a long shadow'. (For the 'long' part of the compound cf. delta 1336, …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1402Δορυφορεῖattends (as a bodyguard)The headword is present indicative active, third person singular, of the verb dorufore/w, literally 'carry a spear' or 'be a spear-carrier'. (For the noun cognate with this verb see delta 1403.) It must be …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1591Δυσανασχετοῦσιthey are displeasedThe headword and the glosses are third person plurals; first gloss in future indicative; headword and second gloss in present indicative. The headword must be quoted from somewhere: there are several possibilities, chiefly in …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1603Δυσγάργαλιςskittish, ticklishThe headword is a rare adjective, which in a concrete sense is used of horses. See e.g. Xenophon, On Horsemanship 3.10, and Aelius Dionysius *peri\ o)no/mata omicron27, quoting Aristophanes fr. 43 Kock = 44 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε70<20Ἐγκαλινδεῖσθαι σωματικοῖς παθήμασιto wallow in bodily affectionsA marginal gloss mising from mss TFV and misplaced in ms G. Adler tentatively ascribes it to Symeon Metaphrastes. (But see below.) The verb e)gkalindei=sqai, literally meaning to roll around in, occurs occasionally in …Matched in noteshighshort

ε121Ἐγκραγώνhaving shouted atThe headword is the aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb e)gkra/zw. It must be quoted from somewhere. Adler implicitly suggests Synesius, Letter 79 (225b), where the headword and loidorhsa/menos (not the …Matched in noteshighshort

ε134Ἐγκύκλιοςcyclical, periodicFor this adjective cf. epsilon 133. [1] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 7.8.2, says that the Avars (*)/abaroi) called their leaders Khagans or Khans (*xaga/noi: see chi 2, chi 3). [2] The use of e)gku/klion plou=ton …Matched in noteshighshort

ε171ἘγγυμνῶI will exercise inLikewise in syntactical lexica. The headword is perhaps a future of e)ggumna/zw, which is used with the accusative of what is being exercised (body, soul, mind) and dative of the skill being practised. But …Matched in noteshighshort

ε466Ἐκλῃδονίζετοwas foretellingSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (437). The headword is imperfect indicative middle-passive, third person singular, of the verb klh|doni/zw, "vaticinate". A Biblical entry, from 4 Kingdoms 21.6 LXX. A longer …Matched in noteshighshort

ε468ἘκκλήσειςexhortationsThe headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is nominative plural of the noun e)/kklhsis. [1] ai( e)kkalh/seis in ps.-Zonaras 656.18, followed by the same quotation (Polybius fr. 131). See also epsilon 476: there …Matched in noteshighshort

ε551Ἐκπαγλούμενοιbeing struckSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. For this verb see already epsilon 550. In the present instance the participle (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is masculine nominative plural. Construed with an accusative, the verb has …Matched in noteshighshort

ε575Ἔκπλεαcomplete (ones)[1] = Anecdota Graeca I 214.9 (Bachmann); also in ps.-Zonaras, who goes on to give the quotation which immediately follows. The headword, neuter plural of the adjective e)/kpleos, is presumably extracted from it. [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

ε714Ἐκφορούμενοιbeing carried outThe headword (which must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested) is present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)kfore/w. Earlier lexica have other glosses, such as korennu/menoi, 'being satiated'; see Photius …Matched in noteshighshort

ε718Ἔκφρωνwitlesscf. epsilon 716, epsilon 717. [1] Similar glossing already in Hesychius (epsilon1807). [2] Quotation unidentifiable in this precise form, but very like what Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 12.531F-532A (12.42 Kaibel), citing Theopompus (FGrH 115 F31), says …Matched in noteshighshort

ε735Ἐλάκησεburst asunder[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is aorist indicative active of laka/w, third person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere -- almost certainly (given the amount of patristic comment on …Matched in noteshighshort

ε994Ἐμπαλασσόμενοιentangled with one another[1] cf. the scholia to the passage which follows. [2] Thucydides 7.84.3-4: web address 1. (NB: Adler punctuates after 'river', but editors of Thucydides as above.) Probably unconsciously, Thucydides here echoes Herodotus 7.85.2, on …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1022ἘμπλασσόμενοιhittingThe same headword, as transmitted, as epsilon 1021 (q.v.) -- but see n.2 below. [1] Present participle, masculine nominative plural, presumably extracted from the quotation given. [2] Aelian fr. 250d Domingo-Forasté. Adler's note reads: …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1137Ἐναύεινto supplicate[1] This meaning of the verb e)nau/w, labelled sense C in LSJ s.v., is unattested outside Photius (epsilon824 Theodoridis), the Suda, and ps.-Zonaras. They or their source seem to have confused e)nau/w "kindle" (sense …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1140Ἐναύλισμαabode, quartersNeuter noun related to the verb epsilon 1139 and epsilon 1324. Same gloss in some lexica, but Hesychius epsilon2698 has a fuller one: newsti\ geno/meno/n ti oi)/khma, "recently built". Instances in Artemidorus, Theophylact Simocatta, …Matched in noteshighshort
